Well when I use cleaning products with chemicals or bleach I just wear a face mask that you use while painting. It has helped a lot. I have asthma so the chemicals trigger an attack so when I wear the mask I don't have a problem. They are pretty cheap like $5.00 for 2 at Home Depot

I am becoming an even more of a clean freak, so I just try to to use wipes instead of sprays. Try to turn on the bathroom fan or place a small fan next to you so that the air is always moving. I stay away from bleach and let my hubby do that....but I have used it once with use of mask. The smell made me nauseous though.

If you do, make sure you put a fan in to circulate air and open a window if your bathroom has one, you should be fine as long as you don't breathe it in for too long, just take a break in the middle for fresh air, and maybe try the green works kind because it does as good of a job and doesn't have the harsh chemicals, they have a whole line of every kind of cleaner for green works and I love them!
